felix200: I think most Nigerians still prefer Jonathan to Buhari,,,

Lets face the fact,,,Northernas will never rule again,,, this they know quite alright,,,

Any way,, if they want Nigeria to divide,,, me i dey ready to pack go my Delta state,,,

yessoooo

bayooooooo: The attention of the Presidency has been drawn to unfortunate statements in the media made by former Head of State and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in which he allegedly predicted bloodshed in 2015 and labelled the Federal Government led by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, as "the biggest Boko Haram".

But perhaps the most unfortunate part of the statement was the portion in which Buhari said that, "Since the leaders now don’t listen to anybody but do whatever they wish, there is nothing the north can do."
We find it very sad that an elder statesman who once presided over the entirety of Nigeria can reduce himself to a regional leader who speaks for only a part of Nigeria. We now understand what his protégé and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Nasir El’Rufai, meant when he wrote in a public letter in October of 2010, telling Nigerians that Buhari remains "perpetually unelectable" and that Buhari's "insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known." Who can know Buhari better than his own political associate?

Come to think of it, as the CPC presidential candidate in the 2011 election, how many states in the Federation did he visit to campaign for votes? Buhari never bothered to campaign in the southern part of the country and consistently played up the North-South divide to the chagrin of patriotic and well-meaning Nigerians. As the results revealed, Nigerians will never vote for anyone who wants to divide the country. Is Buhari going to continue to be a sectional leader?

The Federal Government led by President Jonathan is not Boko Haram. Boko Haram means Western Education is sin. That being the case, one wonders how a government that devoted the largest sectoral allocation in the 2012 budget to education could be said to be Boko Haram. Between 1983, when Buhari forcefully seized power from the democratically elected administration of President Shehu Usman Shagari, and 2012, no other administration has committed the same quantum of resources as the Jonathan administration to education in the part of Nigeria that has witnessed the most Boko Haram-related insecurity.

Only on April 10, 2012, President Jonathan commissioned the first of 400 Federal Government Model Almajiri Schools, equipped with modern facilities such as a Language Laboratory, Qur'an Recitation Hall, classrooms and dormitories as well as a clinic, vocational workshop, dining hall and quarters for the Mallams. As Nigerians read this, more of such schools have been completed.

We now challenge Major General Buhari (rtd) to tell Nigerians what he has done, whether in his capacity as the head of a military junta or in his private capacity, to bring education to vulnerable children. If he cannot live up to this challenge, perhaps he has to reassess who really is Boko Haram.

Buhari claims that the Federal Government does not listen. Such an accusation ought not to emanate from a man overthrown by his own hand- picked colleagues in the military for refusing to listen to advice and behaving as if he had a monopoly of knowledge.

It is on record that the Federal Government led by President Jonathan is a listening administration hence its decision to pursue all means of resolving the Boko Haram insurgency including through dialogue.

When Buhari says that "if what happens in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, ‘the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood", we hereby state that it is Buhari himself who does not listen. He has obviously refused to listen to the Nigerian People, the European Union, the Commonwealth Monitoring Group, the African Union and a multitude of independent electoral monitors who testified that the 2011 elections were free and fair and "the best elections since Nigeria returned to civil rule."

Indeed, such a reaction from Buhari is not totally unexpected since he has become a serial election loser who has never taken his past election defeats graciously even when such elections were generally acknowledged to be free and fair.

Still on the issue of Boko Haram, we wonder what locus a man whose party's Secretary General, Buba Galadima, told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in December, 2010, that the Federal Government is underestimating the support base of Boko Haram, has to accuse a government that has been threatened on camera by the leaders of Boko Haram of itself being Boko Haram?

Major General Buhari (rtd) also boasts of his knowledge of the Petroleum Industry because of his time as Federal Commissioner for Petroleum. We wonder why he did not boast of the infamous scandal that occurred in that ministry where under his watch billions of Naira (in the 1970s) were reported stolen, a matter which led to the setting up of the Justice Ayo Irikefe panel.

F[b]inally, we wish to make it known to Buhari that given his reference to "dogs and baboons", perhaps his best course of action would be to travel to the zoo of his imagination because President Goodluck Jonathan was elected by human beings to preside over human beings and it is human beings who will determine what happens in Nigeria at any material time not "dogs and baboons".

nice talk

these people should leave us alone they are acting like our bitchesss, we are tired of you people, time to grow up and take ur responsibilities as a tribe and solve your alakuba problems and leave igbos out of it. UMU EWU AWUSA

yaribas are on the mission again

hausa/fulanis love blood it doesn't matter if it is monkey blood or cow blood,blood is blood.2015 will be too hot

what are the governors doing about the insecurity in their domain useless country......................................

i have notice that igbo-phobia affecting these monkeys both home and abroad is getting lesser these days,if it was 3 years ago any thing igbo people if plane fly come land one-side na igbo people,never seen such bunch of paranormal in a so call nation

bittyend: Didn't an Igbo man get arrested for being the bomb supplier to boko haram a couple of months ago?

Didn't an Igbo man get arrested in Pakistan for being part of taliban, or alqueda, and the guy was also the guy supplying them fake passports?

You igbo gorillas need to shut up.. An average igboman will sell his mother for money.. If bokoharam offers money for membership, I'm sure millions of igbo would sign up...

An igbo uncle told me today that 60% of igbos in Lagos did blood money.. I can see through you holier than thou, pillocks.. The truth is bitter!

you are a monkey

SOON WE WILL HAVE INNOSON CATERPILLARS FOR BUILDING SITES

Wallie: Someone said that Ford/Toyota is no different than Innoson. That's diametrically opposite from the truth. Ford/Toyota and other big car manufacturers design their cars from scratch and specify the specification of the parts they need to make the care. It is true that they do not manufacture most parts except for the engine.

Here's a perfect analogy of what they do.

[b]Imagine you want to make your favorite food. You will go to the market to buy the ingredients you need to prepare the food. Once you start cooking, you then decide the amount of salt, pepper, maggi, water, etc that goes into the food. That's what real car manufacturers do. Just like you did not grow the pepper on your farm, they do not manufacture every little piece that goes into the car but they go to the “market” to buy what they need.

On the other hand, if you buy and cook a bag of Indomie, you'll be doing what Innoson is doing. You simply relied on someone else's skill to make your food taste great. Someone else determined the amount of salt, pepper, and/or maggi that goes into that little pouch in the Indomie bag. They even precooked the noodles and told you how much water to add. All you have to do is to follow proper instructions on how to boil it for it to turn out great.

In other words, car manufactuers design the system and specify the parts needed, while car assemblers simply have to follow directions on how/where to bolt the pieces together.
[/b]

I'm saying all this not because I think what Innoson is doing is trivial but to correct the misconception rampant in this thread. Innoson is doing EXACTLY what needs to be done to turn into the Toyota of tomorrow. They still have a very long way to go and they will need patronage to get there. Their vehicles may not be comparable to the Toyotas of today but they still offer a hell of a value and we can still claim that they are assembled in Nigeria. By the way, this is the same exact thing BMW does in South Africa. The BMW 3 Series are mostly assembled in South Africa at the Rosslyn plant.

civilized yoruba,when you see one you will no

nawaoooo poor GEJ

Bandit C.:
Almost every major component of Lamborghini cars, is built by Audi AG Germany, including the engine and body and assembled in Italy but Lamborghini still carries itself as the pride of Italy and even names all their cars after italian bullfighting legends yet you would never see Germans or other Europeans claiming that Lamborghini cars aren't manufactured in Italy.

Envy would destroy some people. Move forward, No, comot for road make others move forward, No. Tufiakwa.

Ekwy Omalicha:

IVM is now setting up a new plant in Ghana.........let the haters keep dying

Mr Fire: Why and how did Oduduwa fall from the sky? Was he pushed by God, by Satan or by some angels?
How did a renegade/rebellious Benin prince become the Yoruba progenitor
How is Yabatech the third oldest institution of higher learning in Africa and 27th in the world.
Why did Awolowo commit suicide?

So many questions, no answers.

dont say that,oduduwa landed with parachute

~Bluetooth:
but you will agree with me that no matter how bad MTN could be,almost every Nigerian with a phone have at one time used their line.HITV isnt doing well not because it's a Nigerian company but because it cant compete with DSTV.innoson has to reach a competitive threshold before Nigerians can start patronizing it.How will a go for it when there are best options around ?

U NEED TO DRINK COLD WATER SOMETIMES B4 YOU DRY FINISH COME DIE innoson motors have sold thousands of trucks and buses so either ur kind want it or not IVM is getting bigger other countries are now involve too

IF THE COMPANY DEY FOR LAGOS COME AND SEE Yoruba PEOPLE DEY WILL BE LOOKING DOWN ON EVERYBODY BUT WE ARE NOT BOASTFUL PEOPLE BY NATURE, CANT STEAL INVENTIVENESS FROM CREATIVE MINDS THAT IS THE ONLY THING WE HAVE APART FROM MINERAL RESOURCES

Olufemichael: you see, THE RESULT OF TRIBALISM IS WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING O, I HOPE YOU LEARN SOMETHING THAT, WHATEVER YOU ARE, BE THE GOOD ONE. CHEERS. WE ARE IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND YOU NEED TO ACT LIKE 21ST CENTURY YOUTH, OR A YOU A SENIOR CITIZEN?

good for your one sided advice sir, remember tribalism didn't start with me so i think you better check yourselves and tell yourselves the truth

BLOODY tribalistic animalistic set of people are calling another Innocent man a tribalist,this is crazy...........

Once we leave nigeria,a lot of investors will troop in trust me,i can see it,in 10 years we will be a great country,we will have everything we got nothing to lose at all,northern region economically they don't exist is getting worst, investor are now on-hold southern part is still ok but we don't know 2moro,interest have now shift to our endz my people we need to act fast b4 is too late....

chino11: Ak nwanne kedu ije?

Yorubas are dragging us backward. That is why that clown called awaoalowoa had to collaborate with the military to hold us back into this contraption called Nigeria. Igbo Nation would have since joined the G8 Nations by now.

this is why we need to cut off from them, is better even in business sense of it.As am talking to you IVM buses are driving on Ghana roads from there other serious countries will get interest trust me,some regions are holding us back is not healthy for us

chino11: We need don't need to have a single richest man in a region while others are living below 20 cent per day just like in the yorubaland. In economics its called ABNORMAL CURVE. In the SE we have a NORMAL CURVE, where good percentage of people classified as poor are living on over 200 dollars per day.

We are not interested in making the top 10 since greater population of Yorubas are still doing house boy, gateman, shoe cobblers for the Igbos.

These people are not wordy to chat 2,IVM is doing their thing supplying buses and trucks to countries like Ghana more countries are coming in as well as to purchase cars and buses from IVM.The thing is that any one of these scalawags will claim the glory when they found themselves in an environment were the company is being praised by other countries you will see them claiming even nnewi,who doesn't like to be seen as productive and creative set of people,it gives you a buzz and respect from other countries
